An efficient stereoselective synthesis of trans-1-aryl-2-aminotetralins has been achieved via Cu(OTf)2 catalyzed one-pot aziridination and regioselective intramolecular arylation of in situ generated aziridines from 2-arylethyl styrenes and PhINSO2(4-NO2C6H4) [PhINNs]. Reaction of a mixture of E/Z-styrenes (≤85:15) provided trans-N-protected-1-aryl-2-aminotetralins with high diastereoselectivity (dr > 95:5), which are important synthons for many artificial pharmaceuticals.
Isomerization during olefin metathesis: An assessment of potential catalyst culprits

Two ruthenium hydride complexes commonly proposed as agents of unintended isomerization during olefin metathesis are examined for their activity in isomerization of estragole, a representative allylbenzene. Neither proves kinetically competent to account for the levels of isomerization observed during cross-metathesis of estragole by the second-generation Grubbs catalyst. A structure-activity analysis of selected ruthenium hydride complexes indicates that higher isomerization activity correlates with a more electrophilic metal center. It wasn't me: Two Ru hydrides thought to trigger double-bond migration during olefin metathesis are examined for their isomerization activity. Neither can account for the high levels of undesired isomerization seen during self-metathesis of estragole, a model allylbenzene substrate. Higher activity is found to correlate with a less electron-rich Ru center. Copyright

(Chemical Equation Presented) Heads you win: An unusual head-to-head dimerization of styrenes has been developed using the zero-valent ruthenium catalyst [Ru(η6-cot)(η2-dmfm)2] (cot = 1,3,5-cyclooctatriene, dmfm = dimethyl fumarate) in the presence of primary alcohols to give the homo-dimer in high regio- and stereoselectivity. The catalyst system is also effective for the selective co-dimerization of styrenes with ethylene to give the co-dimer in high yield.
